So I'm looking around on this account, dude has completed all these quests, but didn't meet any of the requirements for the lapis completion bonus. How is this possible? Does that mean it has been injected?

Nah, lapis bonuses were added long after most of us did the vast majority of the story. It's only the last 3 or so updates where we've been able to get the bonuses the first time through. For the rest we had to go back and redo it all. Sounds like that guy didn't bother.

I was testing the idea of running Noctis + 5 carry units to see if he could solo the entire event, and he can. Setup I use (on ifrit):
With this, warp break 1 shots all waves except the slime. For the slime, use imperil from a carry unit's esper (shiva, diabolos, or ramuh), then thunder flask twice (unicorn horn to remove paralyze if slime uses that on noctis). One turbo ether will be needed for the run as well.
It's important to use chirijaeden with excalibur, even if you have sakurafabuki. The slime is resistant to holy, so you want to "dilute" your damage by making it 33% thunder, 33% fire, 33% holy with thunder flask, which will do more than 50% holy and 50% thunder with sakurafabuki. Spirit slayer's important too to boost damage to the slime.

Have you tried changing the settings to high? I've had no crash issues since increasing the resources allocated to the VM.

Decided all my farm accounts were too much of a headache to keep up with so I tossed them up for sale. Doubt anyone here needs a starter but if you're interested let me know and I'll cut you a better deal than what I'd offer some random schlub.

Think I'm basically finished with SoM farming now. I've bought the 1st moogle, the soulcrown, and all of:
summon tickets
sacred crystals
megacite
discounted 6* mats
gigantuars
first two tiers of quartz
I'm on the fence about the 15% hp materia and the axe. I think I'll go ahead and farm up the 15% hp materia since I don't have a set of four yet. For the axe though, can anyone give a compelling reason why I should care besides "it's a good axe"? Is there any unit besides Mercedes that gives a damn about axes now or in the future? If I ever planned to actually run Mercedes, I'd farm her far superior TM axe with the 4 Mercedes I have banked.
Info on the exclusive valentines event should be out tomorrow or the next day. I'm hoping they do a favorites style banner instead of a new set of unique units, but we're probably getting more exclusive units instead.
If we get Randolph for valentines day (brave frontier valentines unit) I may have to pull for him!

I think you answered your own question. If you have 4 Mercedes then what you said about her would apply to any unit that cares about axes.
Fire Veritas is probably the only unit that fits the bill. He's the only one I can think of that has Axe Mastery, and without that axes can't compete at all with GS/katana/fists.

Yeah I've been hoarding candy for the axe but none of my current units can use it and I have better TMs in the works (Rising Sun and Sakura). There could be a good global exclusive that comes out and can take advantage of axes but I already have some great DPS options in the forms of Noctis, Chizuru, and CoD, so I think I'll be okay. I'll wait until after we see the Valentine's Day units on the slim chance one of them is amazing with axes.

Why? I'm assuming the axe is pretty good, so I might even burn a ton of saved energy for it given that I can carry 4 units (wish I had one 75%/100% though). I'm guessing you're saying this because it's an awesome axe that's not a TMR, right?
Finished Blade Mastery and Genji Glove #2... slotted BM on my Noctis (731 atk, finally less pleb), and put the gloves on my CoD (for now). COD needs a better weapon than thorned mace, but w/e. My Katana selection for Chiz is shit-tier since Noctis and Greg are using Chirj/Masamune (and my Sakurafubuki isn't done yet).
I slotted two Xaios to speed farm one of her fists (I might even repeat it to get another one since I've got 6 copies)... but I'm wondering what would be best. Any recommendations?
Current TMR farming setup is Maxwell, Gaff, Xaio x2, Miyuki. I could swap in Agrias, Locke, Mercedes, Arc, Sazh, Snow, Ludmille (for DC #2), Kefka, Chiz #2, Celes, Zidane #2, or Cecil #2. I'm sure I'm missing some others but I didn't get any Karls.
